SAFETY RULES Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards, goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility. This machine was designed for certain applications only. Delta Machinery strongly recommends that this machine not be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you have any questions relative to a particular application, DO NOT use the machine until you have first contacted Delta to determine if it can or should be performed on the product. Technical Service Manager Delta Machinery 4825 Highway 45 North Jackson, TN 38305 (IN CANADA: 505 SOUTHGATE DRIVE, GUELPH, ONTARIO N1H 6M7) WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY 1.

  • Basic Plane Blade Sharpening
    BBASICASIC PPLANELANE BBLADELADE SSHARPENINGHARPENING We get a lot of questions about sharpening. Woodworkers have strong, often confl icting, opinions about the right way to sharpen. We’ve taught many beginners to get a razor edge in minutes, using a simple method that gives reliable results. Here it is. A sharp edge is the intersection of two polished surfaces, so you need to work both the bevel and the back of the blade. FForor tthishis mmethodethod yyouou wwillill nneed:eed: •1000 & 8000 grit stones, or equivalent.* •Side Clamping Honing Guide •6” Ruler, approx .020” thick •Protractor •Wet/dry sandpaper – 120-220 Grit * Stones must be fl at. If your stone is used, please refer to the “To Flatten Your Stones” section. BBasicasic TTechniqueechnique (with blade in decent condition) Lie-Nielsen blades are delivered ground fl at, with a bevel of 25°. Other blades, especially old ones, may need work on the back and bevel on coarse stones fi rst to establish a fl at, straight surface. 11.. Set blade bevel down in honing guide at 30° using a protractor. Note: If you record the length the blade projects from the front of the honing guide, then you can re-set it next time to the same angle without the use of the protractor. An easy way to do this is with a simple stop block attached to a small piece of plywood or MDF: Stop Block Bench Top Stop 22.. Hone on 1000 grit until wire edge/burr forms on back of blade, about 4 strokes pulling blade towards you. Distribute wear ev e n l y by using the full surface of the stone.
